Mounting disks in the Master Caddy II
If you choose to use your own disks instead of using a pre-built AtomX SSDmini, then it
needs to be installed into a Master Caddy. The Master Caddy is a plastic shell that holds
your disk in place, and has two variants - Master Caddy II and Master Caddy III.
Master Caddy II is still supported on NINJA V+, however, if you are using an ATOMOS
CONNECT with your NINJA V+, then you must mount your disks in a Master Caddy III to
ensure that the disks can be inserted into the media slot when an ATOMOS CONNECT is
attached to your NINJA V+.
For more information on using Master Caddy III, refer to "Mounting Disks in Master Caddy
III" on page 50
Master Caddy II does NOT fit into the NINJA V+ media slot when ATOMOS
CONNECT is attached. Only Master Caddy III, AtomX SSDmini or AtomX
CFast Adapter should be used in this scenario.
How to mount a disk into Master Caddy II
Insert the disk into the caddy, and secure with the four supplied screws. These screws
should be tightened so the screw heads are flush with the casing of the caddy. The caddy
is light and the disk just needs to be held securely.
Don’t over-tighten the screws. There are no connections to make because sliding the
Master Caddy II into the NINJA V+ or the docking station makes all the connections for
you.
The Master Caddy can’t be inserted the wrong way round. Always make sure that the disk
connector faces the slot in the NINJA V+. Push the Master Caddy II into place, but never
force the disk just in case something isn’t set up or aligned properly. For information on
attaching media to a Master Caddy Docking Station see "Connecting media" on page 362.
There is very little that can cause problems, but if there is an issue it is likely that the
Master Caddy isn’t properly flush with the drive inside. A quick visual check will confirm
this.
Spinning disks and SSDs are very sensitive to damage from static elec-
tricity. Please observe all the usual precautions when handling them and
NEVER touch the exposed SATA connector as static electricity may be harm-
ful to your disk.
